Santa Fe & Santo Tome, on the Paraná River (he moved around a lot). My dad was born in Buenos Aires, but never actually lived there. He lived on the river on an island, but mostly ate fish, like piranha...
But we're descent of Italian (last names) and French (apparently)
And hey, I'm comparing the best parts of Texas and Argentina together: food. I'd consider it a win, personally

Family history is always fun. That's real interesting, to have such a big history in your family. My family history is crazy. Unique, funny, but real crazy.
And I would also consider myself a lover, not a fighter. I would prefer to avoid conflict (although I'm not perfect), but I try to more or less keep the peace.

Please could you edit out my ramblings?

True. Our food is the best haha

Where are your family from @NachoB ? I'm sorry for all the trouble you are experiencing in Argentina atm. I hope PZ and these forums are a good escape It doesn't compare but I have found PZ such a great escape from personal difficulties over the years. That and friendships are a lifeline sometimes <3

I'm from Mar del Plata. Is a coastal city, in Buenos Aires province, i guess the pampas regions.

And thanks a lot! It sure does offer a good scape even though my situation is fortunally not bad compared to a lot of other people. Things are going to get harder for everyone for sure though. We'll see where this goes

I need more time to play PZ again. I've been too busy working lately but i want to go back.

Wait, um, upload the logo into PZ? How? I'll look into Canva, just trying to find a free option as I've already spent bucks on powerdirector but it removes the background so badly

Canva does allow background remover for video recordings but that does require a pro subscription sadly. It's what I use for all my editing purposes but it did cost like £120 for an annual subscription.

Use the custom billboards. Put your logo or whatever it is you were gonna do in the game via the custom billboards

But if let's say, the addax went extinct, how would you feel about them bringing them back. Or the northern white rhinos that only have one gender left so their practically extinct, what if they just brought back on of the opposite gender.

I guess I wouldn't mind if they could Bring it back the way it was and maybe in the future that Will be possible if they went extinct just recently. But after reading more on the subject this Company that wants to Bring back the dodo is just looking for sensation it seems. Few actually believe they could pull it off. And if they do it wouldn't even be a real dodo with all the mixed genes. They are also talking about readjusting the island so the Bird has a chance of surviving. So basically getting rid of current species there. Anyway I am just glad they Will probably never succeed.

Meanwhile all I get is my cat biting my chin to feed her

All they Care about: wet food and cat milk . I always put my younger cat in the bathroom when they get their fish in sauce. So that my old cat actually has a chance to eat as well. Now whenever I go to the bathroom I have a cat stalker using the most adorable meows. She really likes that fish

I read all your posts in this lovely gentle Texan/Argentinian drawl and I would love to hear it!! Please treat us to a DLC reaction vid, it would be really fun to hear all your voices! I hear @Captain Callum 's in a gorgeous Schottisch (idk which part of Scotland you're from but I love all the varied accents, I'm 35% Scottish myself according to my DNA test so we're homies ) and I've been curious as to how Bostonian @Orkan is as that is one of my all-time favourite accents! Gimme my cawfee. Mine is boring Southern English but you'll hear it soon! Video done now trying to work on a passable title sequence UGH

Heh, I have no Boston accent

Hey @Villanelle , how’s the editing going?

 

[Villanelle]

Hey @Villanelle , how’s the editing going?

Better thank you! What I clearly needed most was some sleep - I forget that sometimes! I was able to find a transparency filter but actually, when I was playing around with stuff I found it looked better without it and just using the white plaster background I had put behind the raccoons. So the video is finished, the title is nearly done and now I'm adding music and doing the finishing touches. Might hold off on posting it though until I have the follow-up video ready as its part of a series, Idk. I've just emailed Frontier to ask about music permissions as well so would be good to hear from them first.

How are you feeling? Thoughts on the livestream? Any more exciting soups today? I had lentil dahl soup for lunch and vegetarian sausages for dinner...meh! I feel like I need some treats now!

Oof that's pricey! Do you think its worth it? I'm using Cyberlink Powerdirector 365 - they have a deal on atm so the annual subscription was only £45. I've used it in the past for other projects so I'm familiar with it, thought that would be better than trying to learn something new. Canva looks nice and user-friendly though, I use the free app version. Next set-up purchase will be a better mic...

Nice, nice

I started feeling better yesterday and then somehow it boomeranged back to being as bad as the first day. I had some toast and lemonade today

If you do a lot of custom image design and image animations it's worth the cost but for those just wanting a few features I can understand being skeptical. I get a lot of use out of it as I use it for memes on the forum, designing custom media in my zoos and a helping hand in editing videos for custom text and images since I use a free video editor.

Heh, me who uses Google Slides for that

Awww, hope it boomerangs right back around again soon. That sounds...sparse? Hope you can eat a bit more tomorrow!

Ah yes your meme game is strong!

I drank sooooooooooo much lemonade today you wouldn’t even belive, besides, it’s not dinner time yet where I am, I’ll probably have something else then

 

[Villanelle]

Hah I've used that before for memes and images! It works pretty well actually, quick and simple, and free! Limited if you want to be super creative but good in a pinch

 

[Captain Callum]

Honestly canva does the exact same thing. I find an image in Google using my shameful knowledge of the perfect meme template, add simple text or add and drag other images on top of the template. Only a few times where I need the background remover I can make ones like this:

Hah I found this one really funny when you posted it. We need more Charlie v Callum meme wars once this DLC speculation furore has calmed down

Sleep is important. I think; I haven't slept today (KIDDING)

Sometimes you realize that the original way is the best. I've edited a bunch of videos and images, and them realized that it was perfect the way it was

Get some treats. I'm drinking some sweet tea

I would say yes, but only if you use it often. I use it so often it's worth it for me, but even then I think I somehow got it on sale, so I think I pay less
